Stepping inside Bo Fentum's townhouse in Kingston-Upon-Thames, you'd be forgiven for thinking you were in 70s Palm Springs. It's an Insta-worthy feast for the eyes - all pastel tones and leafy plants. But three years ago, she put this place on the market. Why? Her family had outgrown the space. In the end, they extended out rather than selling up. Bo tells us how this transformation gave her house a new lease of life.
Fashion influencer Megan Ellaby 's Victorian terrace in Manchester is a masterclass in kaleidoscopic colour clashing. Her approach to decorating is the same as dressing: playful, bright and very maximalist. Despite only moving in a year ago with boyfriend George (plus mischievous dachshund pups Peter and Nancy), they've made the place their own, with "lashings of colour, moody lighting, candles, artwork and music."

One of the most frustrating things about renting is feeling like you can't make a house a home. No nails, no screws, no painting - no personality whatsoever. But there's a hack (or two) for that.
In an age of identikit Instagram interiors, defining your style is hard. But not so with the Margate home of singer-turned-designer Whinnie Williams.

Owning It | Kristabel Plummer For many people, renting a room in a houseshare is the most cost-effective way of having a roof over your head. As part of our Owning It series, celebrating creative tenants, we visit Kristabel Plummer, who lives in North London with three housemates.
A rented home doesn't need to be boring, beige or generally sub-par. Case in point? Zeena Shah's East London flat, nestled inside a beautiful Art Deco building. As part of our Owning It series, celebrating creative tenants, Zeena tells us what it's like living in one of London's most Instagrammable rentals.
